[–] ijhuygft776 2y ago ↗ U.S. is still sponsoring Israel... so I wonder why. [–] [deleted] 2y ago ↗ (comment deleted) [–] hollerith 2y ago ↗ Probably because the war against Hamas is costing Israel a lot of money. [–] bell-cot 2y ago ↗ "sponsoring Israel" != "co-signing on Israel's national debt" [–] ijhuygft776 2y ago ↗ are you sure.... [–] bell-cot 2y ago ↗ Since Moody's still seems to rate US Gov't bonds as "Aaa", they must be pretty sure.Not being a bond rating expert, I'll defer to their judgement in the matter.
